A team of researchers at IBM Research – Zurich, Switzerland, has presented a resource-efficient quantum algorithm for protein folding. Predicting the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its primary sequence of amino acids is known
CERN’s ATLAS has found first evidence of the Higgs Boson decaying to two leptons (either an electron or a muon pair with opposite charge) and a photon. Known as “Dalitz decay”, this is one of the rarest
D-Wave Systems has published a milestone study in collaboration with scientists at Google, demonstrating a computational performance advantage, increasing with both simulation size and problem hardness, to over 3 million times that of corresponding classical
Using the IBM Q computer, physicists at EPFL have verified for the first time the tight relationship between quantum entanglement and wave-particle duality, showing that the former controls the latter in a quantum system. EPFL
Austria is getting a Quantum Internet. With the “Austrian Quantum Fiber Network” (AQUnet), an Austria-wide network of fiber optic cables is to be built that is suitable for the exchange of quantum information and precision
An international team led by the University of Nottingham, has demonstrated that only quantum and not classical gravity could be used to create a certain informatic ingredient that is needed for quantum computation. This new
Researchers have found a way to use light and a single electron to communicate with a cloud of quantum bits and sense their behavior, making it possible to detect a single quantum bit in a
Fermilab scientists have been conducting experiments to look for quantum fluctuations of space and time at the smallest scale imaginable according to known physics. At this limit, the Planck length, our classical notions of space
Recent work has constructed a relation problem that a noisy constant-depth quantum circuit (QNC0) can solve with near certainty (probability 1−o(1)), but that any bounded fan-in constant-depth classical circuit (NC0) fails with some constant probability. It
For years, physicists have been looking for materials that emulate a Kitaev honeycomb (solid-state model known to birth Majorana fermions in magnetic fields). Physicists from Chung-Ang University, Korea, unveiled the existence of Majorana fermions in α-RuCl3,
